 Tobacco buyers understand that the habit of raising tobacco, like the habit of smoking or chewing tobacco, is diff cult to conquer, hence they base thei1 figures accordingly. One tobacco buyer in this vicinity is honest enough to state that tobacco is actually worth as mucl to-day as ever, but the farmers are panic stricken and are foolish enough to sel at whatever price the dealer offers from two cents upward.

From the number of indictments found by the grand jury, the next term of the District Court will have to con- tinue in session for abont one month, to clear the criminal docket alone. We hope for the good of the county, that our new Judge will appreciate our con ditiOn sufficiently to so arrange his en- agreements, that he will be able to stay with us until all the cases are disposed of By so doing he will secure the good wishes and everlasting gratitude of all good citizens of our county. We have been without court so long, that the affairs of our county are in deplorable condition, and if Judge Wright can be prevailed upon to come and stay with us until the docket is cleared, it will in- augurate the dawn of a new era.

The order of the day-now that the County Court is abolished-is habeas corpus. The grand jury has not been tting here for the past ten days for nothing, and though the county is pros trated from the want of court of jus tice, the people are not going to ut up with having this advantage taken of them, and the jail doors thrown open by q sham writ of habeas corpus.

We expected to be able to publish this week the reports from various commit tees appointed by thc grand jury, but owing to tue middle caused by the adoption of the ball aboliShing County Courts, and the uncertainty existing as to the legality of their acts, We were ur- able to do so.

There have been some six or eight left our county for its good. The list of the gr;uId jury published Tn the HERALD was sufficient hint to them that Apache county was not what it once "as, and that instead of being haven for crimi- nals, it was likely to become place for them to dread. Well, We can afford to lose such characters, but would have preferred to see them go by the way of Yuma when they left us. One or two more grand juries such as we have just had, and there will be very few of them left
